Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Dinar coin from the Hafsid dynasty is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Christian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features Arabic script and Islamic motifs, while the reverse side features a Christian cross and the name of the ruler, Abu’l ‘Abbas Ahmad II, in Latin script. This blending of cultural influences reflects the diverse history and cultural exchange that occurred during the Hafsid dynasty's rule over North Africa and Sicily.
